Palo Alto High School

For the 2011-12 school year, PiE provides $414,811 in flexible dollars for Paly, based on generous donations from parents and community members. Funds are allocated to key school priorities, including:

 

- PiE dollars pay for an additional counselor at Paly, to enhance Paly’s guidance services and increase connections with students, as well as other guidance staff (38%)

- PiE funds help support the Teacher Advisor program, reducing the number of students seen by each teacher, as well 100% of the coordinator costs for the Teacher Advisor program for all students at Paly (30%)

- PiE funds pay for upper-class Link Crew to facilitate orientation and mentor connections for all freshmen, for community outreach, and to extend hours in the Academic Resource Center (14%)

- PiE dollars fund College and Career Counseling, including supporting a full-time credentialed college counselor and providing college essay workshops (6%)

- The remaining funds will be spend on enhancing electives, in particular on an aide for Biotechnology, on technical electives support, and on Paly’s outstanding community service program (11%)

"PiE money is the lifeline for Paly that keeps us in a position to enhance students' experiences in a state of uncertain budgets every year! The financial support allows us to be innovative and engage students in ways that have lifelong benefits. A sincere ‘thank you’ from myself and the Paly community for the continued support."

– Phil Winston, Paly Principal
